Wow! Tasting The Doctors' Riesling is like biting into a deliciously crisp Granny Smith apple, licking lime sherbet and eating your first Central Otago apricot of the season, all rolled into one! The 2015 Doctors' Riesling is simply stunning, extremely easy to drink and with the perfect balance of fruit sweetness and fresh acidity at a modest 9% alcohol. Who can feel guilty having a second glass? No wonder it's firmly established as one of New Zealand's favourite Rieslings, outselling other very fine examples by as much as 10 bottles to 1. So chill a bottle and see for yourself what thousands of Kiwis are enjoying!

The Doctors' Riesling is made from grapes that were harvested early with lower levels of sugars. The Riesling grapes were gently pressed, cold settled and given a cool, slow fermentation which was arrested at around 9% alcohol and 28 g/l of residual sugar. The final decision on when to stop the wine fermentation was based upon the acid/sugar balance.
